<p>1. &nbsp;I love my Precision M3800 DE. &nbsp;</p>
<p>2. &nbsp;I have a problem with same. &nbsp;I&#39;m not a Developer, so I clean installed Ubuntustudio 14.04.2. &nbsp;Sadly, i neglected to backup sources.list or grub, so I lost some things on the installation. &nbsp;Could you create a text file and of those 2 files and send them to me? &nbsp;I&#39;d like GRUB to reflect &quot;Restore Factory Settings&quot; and &quot;Del Diagnostics&quot;. &nbsp;I was careful with partitioning and installing, and I confirm that the OS and DIAGS partitions remain.</p>

<p>I want macros back or I&#39;ll have to use something other than dell for my enterprise remote work</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Mark the lad: You mean how the price is $101.50 less than the Windows version? And that Canonical makes money on each system to, y&#39;know, support the development they do? Did you actually look at the price?</p>

Is it that Microsoft have somehow forced you not to sell Linux computers at competitive prices, or is Dell happy to charge people more for the &quot;privilege&quot; of having a free OS pre-installed?</p>

All was good until after the bios update completed successfully and then displayed a notice to restart for the update to complete. However the default xterm user &quot;vuser&quot; does not have root privileges to reboot the system. &nbsp;An attempt to &quot;su - root&quot; failed with &#39;linux&#39; and &#39;dell&#39; as the password. So I simply performed a warm reset within the drac session however the bios update did not take affect. </p>
<p>For those of us not familiar with CentOS or the TWM desktop could you provide an easy way to perform a graceful system reboot?</p>
